I am completely fine with having gay conservatives in the party, conservatism is all about liberty and as long as we don't pander to the gay agenda or any other agenda other than conservatism, we'll be fine.

Totally agree. Most of the gay people that I know are actually conservatives and they just don't know it. They own their own businesses, like lower taxes and less protectionism etc.

As long as a "gay agenda" isn't inserted into politics, I'm OK with all of it.

What's a "gay agenda"?

The "gay agenda" can mean a lot of things depending on who you ask. It is usually used to describe the aggressive tactics used by extreme elements of the left-wing to indoctrinate the public and especially children about the gay lifestyle and the prosecution of those whose beliefs don't agree with homosexual lifestyles for religious or cultural reasons.
It can also mean the use of the legal system to give special treatment to gays and stifle any dissent.

That's a good way of describing it but most of the things gays are after now are in provincial jurisdiction, such as adoption, teaching the "equality" of homosexuality and heterosexuality.

The big enchilada federally for them was Bill C-68.

I was at a seminar once where a gay activist for the CAW said that one of their objectives was to get "sexual orientation" added to the list of designated groups under the Employment Equity Act. Fat chance of the Tories supporting that. The Parliamentary Review of the Act was supposed to start a year ago and since then the Human Resources Committee has managed to studiously avoid putting it on the agenda.

Damn those gays and their "agenda" to be treated the same as anyone else :roll:

WTF?
Treated as equals?

Last time I checked gays didn't have to sit at the back of the bus, or drink from a different water fountain. Gays in Canada have the most rights in the world, much more than say........Bible believing Christians who would be dragged in front of a HRC for quoting their holy book.
Gays in Canada can pretty much say anything they want without consequence including calling those who are personally opposed to such lifestyles "nazis", "fascists" and "pigs".

One gay dude I knew even suggested that certain denominations of religions who don't condone homosexuality (Christianity, Sikhism, Islam, Judaism) should have their tax-exempt status removed and possibly banned from having places of worship.
